Given the already insane amount of hype and news surrounding its release, it looks like Kanye West 's Yeezus will be the Random Access Memories of the hip-hop world. But, personal opinions aside, there's no denying Ye's production talent, and with the gargantuan unveiling of "New Slaves", the gates have given way to a steady flow of remixes. Check out this massive tune of an edit by the Canadian DJ/producer, M-Rock , who adds some hard-hitting instrumentals to an already heavy track. Kanye West's Yeezus is set for release on June 18th.

J. Cole has a big pair of kahunas. The hip-hop star has decided that his new album, Born Sinner is so banging that he can challenge Kanye West for hip-hop glory. To back this fact up, the rapper has moved the release date of Born Sinner to June 18th, the exact same release date as Kayne's Yeezus . Cole has said of the new release date, "I'm not going to sit [here]... I worked too hard to come a week later after Kanye West drops an amazing album. [...]
J. Cole 's single "Power Trip" has become inescapable on the radio, but he continues to showcase how masterful it is when performed live. The rapper performed the track last night (May 21) on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon sans Miguel , who may still be in hiding after that Billboard awards smackdown . Backed by The Roots , Cole gave a simple and laid-back performance. Cole's forthcoming sophomore album, Born Sinner , will be released on June 18 — the same day as Kanye West 's [...]

I remember it like it was yesterday. It was a Saturday in May. I had just finished finals week of my junior year in college, so naturally I was running off a combined 20 hours of sleep for the past 7 days. An accumulation of Adderall was flowing through my veins as I sat slouched in a chair of a grad party living room. Red solo cup in my right hand and left over pulled pork sandwich in my left, my eyes we're inevitably beginning to close regardless of amphetamines and alcohol. Suddenly, I heard a voice come from the [...]
Goddamn, Internet. The world wide web has a way of sucking you into black holes and dark corners. Like, you go to Google alternatives to ketchup and you find yourself, many hours later, reading conspiracy theories and listening to some violin cover of the Hungarian song that Kanye West sampled for "New Slaves." You've peed [...]

Ah. Another Daft Punk album means at least one trillion remixes, samples and mashups, right? It's tough to sift through them all, with so many trying to piggyback off the wonder duo's influential sound. Don't fret though, this one's a keeper. Chicago mashup machines The Hood Internet reunite Yeezus and Daft Punk for this blend of "Good Life" and "Doin' It Right". Check the tasty results below. Follow @dcbui
A few months ago, Travis Scott came to our office to play a few tracks from Owl Pharaoh, the mixtape he first announced in 2011, plus an amazing song from G.O.O.D. Music's apparently scrapped album ... read more
Kanye West hasn't released a solo album since his 2010 release, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. If I was talking about another rapper, you could say he went on a hiatus but this is Kanye and that isn't possible. He can't stay out of the limelight. Given that his relationship with Kim K has been in the news far too often, I'm glad to see that his musical efforts are back in the headlines. Oh, you haven't heard? He premiered a single + music video in 66 different locations. I felt that his last album was [...]
I was the first paying customer through the door at the 2013 edition of KC Psychfest . I was excited to see the kickoff set by C.J. Boyd . I was also eager to soak up the same sort of positive vibes emitted at last year's inaugural event. The energy was so welcoming that I wasn't the least bit perturbed that Boyd's performance was delayed. (I got the impression that he and the organizers were waiting for the blinding sun streaming through the west windows of the event's "HQ" to go down.) Boyd [...]
Kanye West en sus últimas presentaciones ha aparecido cantando con una de las máscaras de la marca francesa Maison Martin Margiela de la colección primavera-verano 2013. A casi un mes del lanzamiento de su nuevo álbum Yeezus -18 de junio-, y su aparición en el show SNL , el intérprete continúa creando grandes expectativas sobre este nuevo material, el cual cuenta con colaboraciones de Daft Punk, Odd Future, Chief Keef , entre [...]
Deen once ghost-wrote for Consequence. So everyone's favorite melodramatic rapper came back over the weekend and he's mad and militant and here to scare corporations, rich (read: white) people and Illuminati theorists alike. Simultaneously, he's providing "deep" commentary on materialism, consumerism and capitalism with a light gloss of metal and GOOD Summer retreads. And if Kim Kardashian's Instagram feed is anything to go by, he's also here to partner with Nike to sell you peasants ugly and overpriced new colorways of the Air Yeezy. Kanye West ladies and gentlemen. I hate [...]
ABX - Doin' It Good (Kanye West vs Daft Punk) Download: direct via Raptorhideout | Soundcloud
Earlier this year, photos and videos hit the web of Kanye West and Will Smith hanging out with some musicians in a Brazilian studio. Even though they were just jamming and having a good time, it turns out that the two have done more than that together. The Fresh Prince revealed that they have indeed been in the studio working on some stuff, though it's unclear when and if it will ever be released. Smith made it clear he won't put it out unless he's 100 percent confident with what he's created, but he also said that Yeezy's [...]
I noticed that when this blog was in its infancy we used to feature way more mashups. Conversely submissions of mashup tracks have grown steadily over the years. Maybe we're becoming too old or maybe we are too cynical but it feels like every kid with an Iphone app and a couple of acapella tracks [...] The post The Hood Internet mashup Daft Punk vs Kanye West appeared first on Cougar Microbes .
This weekend Kanye West released two new singles off his upcoming album, Yeezus, in the most grandiose possible fashion. On Friday, he announced the video for his newest single, "New Slaves," woul... Continue reading "Why Kanye West May Prove to Be the Perfect Punk Rock Rapper" >
Três anos depois do fabuloso My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy , Kanye West (também conhecido como Yeezy) está de regresso com novo álbum intitulado Yeezus (Yeezy + sim, esse mesmo, Jesus), com data de lançamento marcada para 18 de Junho. Depois de ter apresentado o seu novo vídeo para "New Slaves" em 66 fachadas de várias cidades dos E. U. A. , Kanye abrilhantou o primetime da TV americana de sábado como convidado musical do último episódio do SNL. Bastaram duas músicas, "New Slaves" e "Black Skinhead", para que Yeezy [...]
As you're probably aware by now, Kanye West has just dropped two new songs from his impending full-length album, boldly titled "Yeezus." The first of the pair, "New Slaves," has Yeezus proclaiming he's well aware that he is living a life of modern servitude. I'm trying to dissect this metaphor, and all I can come up with thus far is that Ye had to "slave away" on his craft and appeal to industry bigwigs before reaching his current status in entertainment as a throne-dweller. Or something? Regardless, my favorite independent DJ Big Cats! , a [...]
Update 5/20/2013: Just a couple hours after appearing on iTunes, the Yeezus preorder page has been removed. ———— Here's the cover art, as previously teased by Kim Kardashian, for Kanye West's new album, Yeezus, out ... read more
